turns out i dont like them now
They perform great, car corners better(no more screeching from the tires) but the tread pattern looks like it goes with a import car. Oh well they were cheap.

i can kinda see those being "import" tires but they look like they should do pretty good on wet roads too.

yeah they do, today i went through a street with a broken water main and once i was through the lake of water i pushed it a little,
The car still slid side ways but not as easy as it did with the other tires. also dry traction is much better than the old ones.

We all know how the tires on the outside edge like to wear werid. I had them on my car and after a few months i noticed it was wearing very werid and it actualy started to split. I got a new set of tires for free from sears because i said they were defective which they were because they were frickin spliting. Of course sears tried to blame it on in proper alignment and i showd them that i have my car aligned every 3 months. Yes my car goes outta alignment that quick. Stupid Cal Trans and there pot holes
